### Pygmies are members of the Negroid race. Han are members of the
Mongoloid race. Anthropologists use these terms. Cladistically you can play
around with the number of races but the most common number is 3,
corresponding to major groups that had little if any cross-flow of genes in
the past 50 to 100 k years. You can have more races, if you are a splitter,
not a lumper.
